Exception handling

[sami616]

Hi, I'm having some difficulty understanding how exception handling would work. I'm having some trouble catching the below Exception for example. I'm thinking i'm perhaps in the wrong namespace and/or trying to catch the wrong Exception?

namespace DotMailer\Api\DataTypes;

$contact = new ApiContact();
$contact->email = $_POST['email'];
$contact->emailtype = $_POST['email_type'];


try {
	$contact = $resources->PostContacts('invalid input');
} catch (Exception $e) {
	echo $e->getMessage();
}

Probably

The exception should probably be \DotMailer\Api\Exception (note the backslash at the beginning).

Thanks! I still seem to be having an issue with successfully catching the exception. Could you supply an example?
